FARMS AND FOLKS
By J. M. ELEAZER
Clemson Extension Information Specialist
INSECT TIME
This is the month for crops to
start getting up and growing in
earnest. And along with that great
activity comes insects too.
If you don’t keep a close watch
-mwI apply remedies early, worms
or bugs are liable to get some of
fh* things you’ve planted before
you know it. This is especially
mo with truck and garden crops.
It would pay also to keep a copy
of Clemson Extension Bulletin
102, “Garden and Truck Crop In
sects,” handy as a reference. It
shews both the insects and the
damage they do. Then it also gives
the remedies. It is by our W. C.
Nettles and is free for the asking
at your county agent’s office.
PROGRESS AMONG OUR
COLORED FOLKS
Mrs. Marion B. Paul, our state
supervisor of Negro home demon
stration work, reports progess in
many lines of better living among
the Negro home demonstration
club members in the various coun
ties. A few instances are:
The importance of weight in
relation to health is being stress
ed in all counties. In Allendale
county they found 89 percent of
the women were overweight, 4
percent underweight, and 7 per
cent normal. Corrective diets were
furnished all who needed them.
Later checkups will record what
progress has been made in cor
recting their weights. In Beaufort
county this was also done with 72
dub members.
In Cherokee county, 21 local
leaders attended a meat cutting
fmH canning school.
A progress report for the wom
en’s clubs of Darlington county
for 1956 showed 15 new homes
built, 12 water system put in, 7
bathrooms, 67 flower yards, five
refrigerators, 14 deep freezers,
end 32 television sets installed.
The home demonstration women
of Lawton’s Bay community in
Hampton county cleaned off their
church grounds andplanted 75
pieces of shrubbery there.
The Cedar Creek community of
Horry county secured an aban
doned school building they are de
veloping as a community center.
In Union county six farm wom
en received washing machines as
Christmas presents, one an elec
tric range, and two gas ranges.
Their home agent assisted them in
better understanding the opera
tion and care of these machines.
And 21i> 4-H girls there were >■ in
structed on how to make a gath
ered skirt. A total of 87 of these
bad finished making theirs when
I got my report.
The Williamsburg home demon
stration women gave 41 food bas
kets to needy families at Christ
mas time.
HOW TRUE
“A happy family is but an ear
lier heaven,” said Sir John Row
ing.
Surely, earth holds no greater
bliss than there in the circle of a
happy family. You know, it takes
everyone doing his part though
to make one of that sort. Consid
eration of others and a give-and-
take attitude is surely necessary.
Selfishness has no place there.
“Epery wind that blows is
against the anchor,” another has
said. And about the only anchor
that will hold there in the family
against all of this is a deep and
abiding religious foundation or
basis for everyday living. This is
strongly recognized in 4-H club
vrork and the spiritual angle is al
ways to the forefront. In their
regular club meetings they have a
devotional. At their summer
camps the daily vesper program
is a highlight. And on Rural Life
Sunday and during National 4-H
Club Week each year many local
2-H clubs are in charge of the full
services in their local church.
Yes, building for a happy and
wholesome future there on solid
ground.
WHEN TO IRRIGATE
When to irrigate is a problem
that faces one at the very start
of this new farm operation. And
it can’t be answered in a few
words. That is like many other
farm operations, we just have to
learn by experience, and observa
tion.
After asked this question, Clem-
son’s Dr. Barnes down at the
truck station near Charleston
gives this answer in regard to ir
rigating truck crops:
“One of the best rules is to be
gin irrigating as soon as the crop
begins to show wilt by 10 a. m.
In planning irrigation, keep in
mind that if it takes five days to
water all of the crop it may be
necessary to start before the
time indicated to insure that the
last portion can be watered be
fore it has suffered beyond the
point of profitable recovery. If
no rain falls, repeat applications
will be needed at about weekly
intervals.”
MEAT EATING
The total consumption of tur
key meat has increased over 100
percent in this country in the past
20 years. Chickens have increas
ed 75 percent, beef 40 percent.
Lamb, veil, and pork are up 31,
17, and 13 percent respectively.
We are the heaviest eaters of
poultry meat in the world, and
Canada is next. No other coun
try comes near us in that. But
several eat more other meats than
we do, notably Uruguay, Austra
lia, New Zealand, and Argentina.
Down here in the Southeast we
are fast growing from an all crop
area to one in which livestock,
dairy, and poultry products are
looming larger and larger. In
fact, our growth in cattle here in
South Carolina was the greatest
in the nation for the past seven
years, 78 percent!
Clemson and the Progressive
Farmer have both long preached
“crops plus livestock.” It was
slow coming. But in recent years
it has been fast. County agents
spearheaded most of this work
with livestock, first mostly
through 4-H club demonstrations.
Folsk saw these on tours and at
the local fairs. Many of the boys
kept at it when they grew up.
Thus the idea developed.
FEEDING STEERS OR
HEIFERS
We used to sell most of our
cattle from grass as feeders. Now
more and more of our farmers
are fattening them out.
Up to now we have had few
heifers for sale, as most of them
were being kept as breeders. Note
our cattle growth, highest in the
nation in recent years. About half
of the calves are heifers. So our
folks will soon have to start mar
keting a lot of fat heifers too.
Here’s what Wallace’s Farmer
says about ’em:
“Heifers feeders 'are usually
cheaper, and when fattened out
they don’t usually bring as much
as steers. Heifers fatten at lower
weights and earlier age than
steers, and it takes a little more
feed to make that unwanted fat

WORLD OUTDOORS
S ALES of pistols and small-cal
iber rifles indicate that more
and more Americans are discover
ing that shooting is fun.
Rifle clubs, tournaments, and
turkey shoots are on the increase
in many parts of the nation and
hundreds of enthusiasts are taking
to the woods and hillsides tc
“pink” away at homemade tar
gets, tin cans and old bottles.
* Shooting is fun, but the plain
truth is that many fail to realize
that it is also quite dangerous. Nov
ices are seldom aware that a bul
let will glance off a hard object
and careen away, still full of dan
gerous power. They are prone to
overlook the fact that a rifle bullet
will travel much farther than the
eye can see through trees and un
dergrowth.
• Outdbor shooting should be care-
fully supervised and planned. Re
gardless of the target, it should
be placed against a backdrop that
is much larger and strong enough
to completely stop the flight of the
bullet. Firing away at trees, fence-
posts and objects on open ground
is both foolhardy and dangerous.
Quite often a farmer will find that
one of his livestock has died for
no apparent reason. If he looks
long and hard enough, he may
find a small hole in the animal’s
hide undoubtedly caused by some
careless “plinker’s” bullet. After
this happens once or twice, the
sound of a rifle anywhere in the
vicinity will cause the fanner to
stop whatever he is doing and in
vestigate—and who can blame
him?
Target shooting is fun. IPs a
pleasant spring and summer diver
sion. But it is a very dangerous
pastime. If you like to follow this
hobby, do it safely. Arrange a safe
target area. Never shoot unless
there is a solid object behind your
target to stop the bullet and pre
vent it from going on to kill or
injure some unsuspecting animal
or human.

than it does the wanted lean that
steers tend to put on. Carry the
growing steer on to the same fin
ish of the heifer and it will bring
more because it will cut out a bit
more of the desired lean cuts.
“Fed out to the heavier weights,
heifers tend to become *cowy’ and
bring still lower prices. So for
the longer feeding periods, steers
are the better bet. Heifers feed
out best right from waning time,
and can handle some roughage
then, but not as well as steers.
Fed the same way, heifer calves
will usually be ready for market
6 to 8 weeks ahead of steersxthat
tend to grow more and fatten less
at that age.
“Tests at Missouri srowed that
heifers and steers feed out pust
as well mixed as separate, al
though the heifers finished first
and were sold separately.”

you used a circular motion.

wonders for soaking it up. Take

1 egg
1 tablespoon salad ofl

used paper napkins from the table,
too, and place right with the garb
age to act as blotters.
Use the tines of a kitchen fork
for helping pin curtains on a
stretcher. This makes it easier
and you won’t prick your fingers
on the pins.
Books with real leather bindings
should not be packed too closely on
bookshelves. They like circulating
air and will do better when they’re
shelved a bit on the light side.
Save ironing time by going along
the clothesline with a lightweight
cart on wheels. Fold towels and
underwear directly from the line
into neat piles, then carry in the
cart and wheel it to chests and
%
linen closet to put things away.

AFTER MOTHER’S DAY
Y OU should be observing Moth
er’s Day this second Sunday in
May. The observance of the day
should inspire you with new re
solves because of the new assur
ance of Eternal Love over you.
If you are today traveling along
the road to yesterday, back to the
place of your earliest recollections,
may you linger in the sacred spot
to think of the changeless Love
that has blessed you and will
through all the years, the love of
Mother and the love of the Heaven
ly Father. Let the love of earth
and the love of heaven teach you
to love and to live by its power.
With the assurance of God’s love
around you and the sense of .his
care over you, face the day and
all the days with hope and courage
to meet the tasks' and the trials to
do and overcome. There is great
need for faith in the Eternal Good
ness in this time of stress and
strain. When was the age so full
of menace? If the printed page and
the newscasters quite appall you,
turn to the ancient page that tells
you of a love that will bless you
with strength for the day and with
contentment when the shadows of
the night enfold you.
“Talk about false economy—I always swore Fd never
borrow money for home repairs like my neighbor
does. And now Fve scarcely got a home left.”
But it’s never too late to get started.
A phone call now will do it; and Fll
go right down and pick up the money.
